Organizing with Cricut {Win Your Own!}

Monday, September 14, 2015

Are you in the new-school-year-gotta-get-organized mode yet? Let me share with you a few ways that you can use a Cricut to help organize my classroom. {Don't have a Cricut? No problem! See how to WIN one at the end of this post.}

Earbuds
I was so tired of trying to organize all of the headphones in my classroom. So tired. They were so big and the cords were always tangled. I invested in earbuds for each of my students (from Dollar Tree). I wound each earbud around a spool (from Hobby Lobby) and stored in one of these containers (also from Hobby Lobby). I cut numbers from vinyl to label each compartment so students would know which earbuds belonged to them (no sharing....ewwww). Super easy solution to the headphone dilemma!

Each container has 16 slots, so I had to use two containers. I just labeled them on the cover so students would know which container to use to find their own earbuds.

VIP Table
Another simple solution is to use your Cricut to label an area as a VIP space in your classroom! This is an area in your classroom for those Very Important People (you know, those students who are showing extraordinary behavior!!) - just decorate a desk or table to make it special and put ALL of your special supplies there for only the VIP's to use (think markers, pens, stickers, glitter glue, white boards, etc)! Instant motivation.
